About

On November 21st 2021, Nelson Freire was taken before his time. One year on, we remember him with a new collection of previously unreleased Decca recordings, bonus tracks making their debut on disc and rare radio broadcast tapes; some of Nelson’s finest performances from a time he rarely recorded commercially. The collection is accompanied by a new essay by Dominic Fyfe, Nelson’s long-time Decca producer.

The Berlin Sessions

Rediscovered, unreleased recordings from 2014 of Gluck, Bach and Beethoven’s Andante favori – his only recording of this piece Rare Radio Tapes

Broadcast concerto performances from 1970-1985 including Beethoven 4 and Brahms 2, Bartok 1 and Richard Strauss’ Burleske New to CD

Bonus tracks never before released on CD including music by his beloved Villa-Lobos and Debussy

an experience that is somehow much more than the sum of its diverse parts.

13th October 2022

The playing, as you would expect, is sparkling and deft, and in works like Strauss’s Burlesque and Saint-Saëns's cadenza to Beethoven's fourth concerto, it underlines the fact that in Britain we heard far less of Freire than we might have done, and were much poorer as a result.
